A man in his 20s who killed a neighbor with a weapon in Daegu was arrested by police.

According to the Daegu Seobu Police Station on the 9th, A was arrested on suspicion of killing an upstairs neighbor, B, in their 50s, with a weapon around 10:40 a.m. that day inside the elevator of the apartment where A lives in Seo-gu, Daegu.

A was caught red-handed by police in front of the first-floor elevator after a report from an apartment official. A suffered stab wounds and is being treated at a hospital, and the injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

It was found that A was carrying a weapon when encountering B. With A and B each living in the apartment with their families, the crime was reportedly committed after an argument over inter-floor noise.

A police official said, "There was one inter-floor noise report a year ago as well, and we closed the case on scene," and added, "We plan to seek an arrest warrant after questioning A."
